Negotiations are proceeding, with Anfield chiefs confident the 21-year-old centre-half will extend on significantly improved terms within months if not weeks. Speaking about the England star, he said: “He has a big future here at Liverpool, no doubt about that. Joe is a very important part of the squad and it’s so nice to see. “I remember when I came in and everybody told me about him. “Now, seeing him full of confidence, and being really fit, I know what they were talking about when they told me how good he was and, much more importantly, how good he is . “I knew him, but not really well, and everybody told me how good he was when he came to Liverpool. Then he got the injury and he has had to fight back.
